Random Roadtrip
Without constant stimulation from new experiences [ For more on 'new experiences' go here: http://www.braingle.com/mind/351.html ] the brain's strength and agility can decline over time. One way to break your routine [ For more on 'break your routine' go here: http://www.braingle.com/mind/335.html ] is by taking a random roadtrip in your car.
Normally, when you are driving from point A to point B, you brain goes on autopilot. A simple way to introduce novelty is to take a different route to your destination. Take some streets that you've never driven down before.
Another fun way to change things up is to set out on a trip, but have no destination in mind. Simply turn whenever you feel like turning and go wherever your fancy takes you. This can be a fun family experience if you let each person pick the directions for a period of time.
Another way to drive somewhere new is to get out a map, close your eyes, and put your finger down someplace. Now drive there and see what it's like. These new experiences are a great way to stimulate the mind.
